>> leaving the senate a lot better than i found it. >> jim demint leaves some big shoes to fill. >> jim demint leaves some big shoes to fill. then again -- captioning funded by cbs en again -- welcome to "cbs this morning." i'm charlie rose in new york. norah o'donnell is in washington. the northeastern coast of japan is still recovering from a devastating tsunami, less than two years ago. this morning, history threatened to repeat itself. >> that's right. a major earthquake struck in the pacific ocean overnight, setting off tsunami warnings in that same area that was hit so hard back in march 2011. lucy craft is in tokyo. lucy, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. this latest quake is just another reminder of how terribly vulnerable japan is to an assortment of natural disasters. memories of that triple tragedy in 2011 are vivid for all of us, but especially up in the northeastern coast of japan,

which has yet to rebuild since last year's tragedy. here in tokyo, the 7.3 magnitude earthquake rattled windows and shook walls for several minutes. buildings swayed but there were no immediate reports of damage or death. there were ten injuries. off the northeast coast. sirens blaired as officials issued immediate warnings for residents to escape to higher ground. >> translator: i'm all right now. >> reporter: japan's northeast coast was devastated by the march 2011 quake and tsunami that took 20,000 lives, set off the world's worst nuclear meltdown since chernobyl. workers at the fukushima nuclear plant were ordered to evacuate. they reported no irregularities.

all tsunami warnings have since been lifted. in the wake of the march 2011 disaster, the state of japan's nearly 50 nuclear power plants remains very much unresolved. on december 16th, we'll have an election. the conservatives are likely to take power. and support nuclear power once again. that's likely to cause gridlock in the parliament, send demonstrators in the streets. back to you, charlie and norah. >> lucy craft, thank you. back here in washington there is little movement toward a compromise to avoid the fiscal cliff. there are just 25 days until the deadline. officials are saying the negotiations are now in the had hands of two men, president obama and house speaker eer jo boehner. bill plante is at the white house. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. and good morning in the west. the president has stepped up his rhetoric, warning failure to fix the fiscal crisis could sour the christmas season. as another day passed without any real progress, president

obama ventured out to push his claim that the middle class will suffer. ♪ you better watch out you better not cry ♪ >> at the national christmas tree lighting, president obama joined the holiday mood. but earlier, visiting a middle class virginia family, he threatened that congress could ruin the christmas season. if it doesn't act, the administration says, middle class tax bills will increase by $2,000. >> we're in the midst of the christmas season. i think the american people are counting on this getting solved. the closer it gets to the brink, the more stress there is going to be. >> reporter: what may raise the stress level even further is the promise that both the president and treasury secretary geithner has made. that is, if tax rates don't rise for top earners, there will be no deal. >> i'm not going to sign any taxes that somehow prevents the top rates from going up for folks at the top 2%. >> if that happens, if there's no agreement, economist mark

zandi told a congressional hearing it would be bad news. >> if we go over the cliff and there's no change after that, we hit the gdp in 2013 will be 3.5 percentage points. the economy is growing two percentage point. subtract 3 1/2 and that is a severe recession. >> reporter: republicans will be blamed if there is no agreement say the president is acting in bad faith. >> i think it's fair to say that the president is not interested in a balanced agreement, is he not particularly interested in avoiding the fiscal cliff and he's clearly not interested at all in cutting any spending. >> reporter: but behind all the public posturing, there is still contact between the president's office and the speaker's people. and between the two men themselves. but everyone else is out of the loop. and there is some confidence, at least here at the white house, that they can find a solution. norah, charlie? >> bill plante, thanks.

november jobs report is out. rebecca jarvis is here. good morning. what do the numbers tell us? >> things are looking a lot better than we were anticipating. 146,000 new jobs created in the month of november. unemployment rate dips to 7.7% and there's two big reasons to why the report came out better than most people were expecting. first of all, the impact from superstorm sandy. it wasn't there. that's what the bureau of labor sta stisks told us. we thought it might have a significant impact. it didn't. second of all, a number of people gave up on looking for work. that's why you see the significant decline in the unemployment rate. >> where were the jobs gained? >> primarily retail, which added 53,000 jobs. business services have been strong throughout this recovery. we saw those add 43,000 jobs and lastly health care, which has been one of those fields that most people would say is untouchable because there's a growing need for health care as

the boomer population ages and because there are consistently jobs in the health care. also computer services were strong. retail, one thing to note, it's november, people hire for the holidays. >> rebecca jarvis, thank you. >> now to the crisis in the middle east. rejecting president mohamed morsi's call for reconciliation, refusing to compromise last night as he spoke to the nation. earlier, morsi got a call from president obama after a deadly confrontation between morsi's supporters and his opponents. holly williams is outside the presidential palace in cairo. >> reporter: some people here hope that after days of protests and blood shed, president morsi would make a major concession last night when he addressed the nation in an effort to restore balance. we are expecting large protests here today outside the palace here in cairo. in the city of alexandria, there have been more violent clashes between president morsei's

opponents and his supporters. the president's opponents are demanding that he immediately gives up all of the sweeping new powers that he gave himself two weeks ago. they also want him to postpone a referendum on egypt's new constitution, due to take place in just over a week. critics say that constitution doesn't protect the rights of all egyptians. but president morsi didn't do either of those things last night. instead he offered to give up just one of his new powers, vaguely worded right to take all necessary measures to affect the country. he said he would give up the other powers once the referendum had taken place. also yesterday, president obama telephoned president morsi to express his deep concern over the violence and deaths that have occurred. he also urged president morsi to have a dialogue with the opposition without any preconditions. for "cbs this morning," holly williams, cairo. in syria this morning, rebel troops declared the airport in damascus to be a fair target, warning civilians to stay away.

growing concern that syria's government to use chemical weapons. hillary clinton joined her russian counterpart. this morning, elizabeth palmer reports, hillary clinton says there are no easy answers. >> meetings yesterday were important but just the beginning and added nobody should believe it represented a breakthrough. clinton was more frank on president bashar al assad's lack of a place in seary's polityria future. >> every syrian must be included in this process for a new and better future. a future of this kind cannot possibly include assad. we go into these discussions with a clear sense of what we want to see accomplished, but a realistic understanding of how difficult it still is. >> second clinton said there

would be another meeting in the coming days to discuss the way forward. for c"cbs this morning," elizabeth palmer, london. >> james baker, secretary of state under president george h. w. bush and second under president reagan, public policy at wright university in houston, joining us now from houston. good morning. >> good morning, charlie. >> secretary baker, what do you think the government of assad, president assad might do with these chemical weapons? is he capable, likely to use them? >> well, i have no idea, charlie. but if there's evidence, if our intelligence community has evidence that they're beginning to mix the chemicals, that would be quite disturbing. if he did use them, it would not be the first time that a sect leader used them against his own people. that happened in 1980 when saddam hussein used them against

the kurds. hopefully that will not happen. >> what should trigger the united states to act to stop him from using them? >> well, i think what the administration has done and is doing is the right course to follow. i think it's fine to put a marker down there and tell the government of bashar al assad that they better not use them. that does raise a credibility problem. any time the president of the united states threatens something, he better damn well be prepared to follow through with it. and they've never said what the consequences would be. of course, consequences could range from anything including further diplomatic, political and military action to the idea that once the regime falls -- and it is going to fall. once the regime falls, then the people responsible would be held accountable in the proper jurisdiction. >> are you suggesting that the president should make clear what

the consequences are rather than just simply saying there will be consequences? >> well, i don't know whether you do that publicly now or not. but i think it wouldn't be at all bad for the syrians to understand what the extent of the consequences are. i mean, it's fine to threaten undefined consequences, but it might be more meaningful to the syrians if they knew specifically what the consequences were. i happen to be one who doesn't think we ought to be involved militarily in that country. i think the american people are tired of military involvement in that part of the world. our forces are stretched pretty thin. we don't have the money. we're broke. we're a broke country. and so anything we can do politically, diplomatically and economically, we should do, to pbring about a regime change there. we ought to be quite weary and leery, i think, of military

involvement, which has a way of becoming a slippery slope. and that is the policy that i think the administration is following. and so far, at least, i agree with that policy. >> secretary, norah o'donnell here. you mentioned the plobs here at home in the united states and the fiscal cliff, which you've written an op-ed about that. are you concerned about the negotiations and how they're going at this point? >> well, i'm plenty concerned. i'll tell you what, norah, i'm encouraged to hear overnight that president obama and speaker boehner have decided they are going to sit down and try to negotiate this out quietly and confidentially. that's the way we used to do it. that's the way ronald reagan did it with tip o'new'neilwe o'neil. back in 1982 or '83. we had private meetings actually in the basement of my home in washington. nobody knew about them. we were free to give and take

and put things on the table without fear that would be used politically against us. same thing for the democrats. that's what we need to get back to. we need something in the nature, norah, of a grand bargain, along the lines of the simpson bowles proposal, something that has everything on the table and that cuts spending and increases revenue. and we've got to do it. the country is in extraordinarily bad shape economically. >> secretary baker, do you believe that the republicans should be willing to concede on the question of raising the rates on the wealthy? >> i don't think they should be willing to concede on that any more than the democrats should be willing to concede before the discussions began on cutting entitlements. but all of that has got to be on the table. that's what ought to be part of the bargain. and there ought to be a rule when they start negotiating that nothing is decided until everything is decided.

you don't have piecemeal concessions. it all ought to be part of one big package. by the way, the debt limit ought to be part of that negotiation as well. we need one big, grand bargain. the american people are so tired of the political posturing and the negotiating in public to score political points. it's time to get serious. the election is over. it's time to do what the country needs badly to have done. >> secretary baker, thank you very much. breaking news from london now. a hospital worker who answered that controversial prank call about the duchess of cambridge has died, apparently in a suicide. in london with the story is monica villamizar. >> morning, norah. emergency services found the woman's body near the private hospital that treated the duchess and where three days ago the hospital worker was tricked by australian radio hosts who

called, pretending to be the queen and prince charles asking, of course, for confidential information about the duchess' condition. british media are reporting she committed suicide but british police refuse to confirm whether this is the case. they're saying for now they are treating this death as unexplained. of course, we will have more details as they come, norah. >> this is a very sad development out of london this morning for that hospital worker, who took that call from the radio d.j. monica, thank you for that repo report. it is time now to show you this morning's headlines from around the globe. apple ceo plans to build some mac computers in the united states. tim cook says apple plans to invest $1 h00 million in the project. it is unclear how the money will be spent or what kind of jobs will b

there's david axelrod. he says he hasn't been clean shaven in 40 years. short time ago on msnbc's "morning joe," president obama's senior adviser cut off his mustache for a good cause, agreed to shave after raising more than a million dollars for epilepsy research. his wife runs a nonprofit organization dedicated to that

cause. their oldest son has epilepsy. i think david looks good. >> a man can go without a mustache, but certainly a worthy cause for him to give it up. >> that mustache is older than i am, charlie. >> i won't ask. it is hard to imagine why anyone would confess to a crime that they would not commit, but it does happen a lot, especially in chicago. this sunday, "60 minutes" looks why this city has seen twice as many false confession cases as any other. byron pitts interviewed one man after being exonerated after spending 15 years in prison. >> 17, still in high school, never been in serious trouble when another teenager from his neighborhood implicated him, vincent, michael and harold in the rape and murder of a 30-year-old prostitute named nina glover. >> did anyone ask you, did you murder this woman? >> that was the first thing they

said. rape and beat who? nina -- i don't know nina glover. can i get my mother here so i can get a lawyer? and nothing. >> reporter: terrell voluntarily turned himself into police and was placed in an interrogation room surrounded by several detectives. the questioning, he said, lasted over 12 hours. >> how close were they? show me physically. >> like right here. you're going to die in jail. you're never going home. >> yelling at you? >> yelling at me. >> were you scared? did you cry? >> absolutely. i was crying, but no one listened. >> terrell wanted to go home and police told him if he admitted to the rape and murder, he could leave. he sign ed a 21-page confession which gave specific details to how he and his co-defendants committed the crime. >> i've got to tell you, the first time i read it, all 21 pages, i said that man is guilty. >> right. everything that's in that confession was fed to us, myself and my co-defendants, by the

police. >> did they force you to sign? >> no. >> why did you sign it? >> i thought i was going home. >> you were 17 years old. so you weren't a child. >> i guess i was still a mama's boy. >> come on now. you had to know if you admitted to raping and killing a woman you weren't going home to mama. >> i had no understanding of that, none. >> senior correspondent john miller, former deputy police commissioner in new york. that is one man's explanation. >> i have been involved in a number of these cases where there's a confession on record that says how could you do this? there are some common threads that run through those stories. a lot of them are just like the story we just heard which is, look, we just need to clear this up. if you just sign this thing, you can go home and people think i'll go home. i'll get a lawyer. we'll clear this up later. and they think, you know, first

let me figure out a way to get out the door. i'll tell them what they want me to tell them. there are some nuances involved. look, charlie rose is in the other room saying you did everything and then you say, well, he did everything. then they take the two confessions and say they both confessed. >> how many times do you think investigators frame someone and how many times do you think they have the right guy, so they could just simply do something to get him to come to where they know he ought to be? >> i think, charlie, in all the cases i've seen -- there's always some anomaly somewhere. investigators almost always believe they have the right person. when that person agrees to confess, it reinforces that. there's something in a case called tunnel vision where, you know, you get focused on one suspect and you say this is the guy. our informant gave us his name. a witness said they saw him running by. his clothing fits the description. and you go from having an opened mind to a closed mind and you say all we need to do is get him

to admit what he did. i don't think there's a lot of can as where investigators say let's get the wrong guy to admit it. >> why chicago? >> couple of reasons. number one because of the death penalty in illinois, the fact that it was stopped by the governor a couple of years ago. but also the sheer number of murders that chicago has. it has been, at times, a high crime city. we saw that spike over the summer. you combine the number of murders and the fact that it's already the focus of the innocence project and a number of groups who pick through those cases because of the death penalty cases there. >> norah? >> john, this is deeply disturbing to think that innocent people would be in jail for a crime they didn't commit and would be coerced into signing confessions. where are their lawyers? shouldn't they have representation to protect them, to help them? >> the answer is their lawyers are never there. >> right. >> if you go through the statistics in these cases, you'll see in almost none of the

cases where a false confession was given was a lawyer present. there are three kinds of these false confessions. one is where they are coerced over time into admitting something. the other is where they just admit to it because they want the notareity. the third is where they were impaired by drugs or passed out and they are led to believe by police they did t we're starting to see a lot of this come out. not just the defense bar is learning from this but the detectives are learning from it, too. >> thank you, john. have a good weekend. >> you, too. >> you can see the full report on false confessions this sunday on cbs. johnny football has taken the college game by storm. we'll look at johnny manzell's amazing freshman season which could land him the heisman trophy and a spot in the history books.

good morning to you. it's 8:00. welcome back to "cbs this morning." japan is shaken by a powerful earthquake, and the threat of another tsunami. and justin bieber's friends say hey, he was robbed by grammer voters because he did not get one nomination. we'll show you what they're doing about that. but first, here's a look at

today's "eye opener at 8." >> this latest quake of another reminder of how terribly vulnerable japan is to an assortment of natural disasters. >> major earthquake setting off tsunami warnings in that same area hit so hard back in march 2001. 146,000 new jobs created in november. the unemployment rate dipped from 7.9% to 7.7%. >> president obama and speaker boehner have decided they are going to sit down and try and negotiate this out quietly and confidentially. that's the way we used to do it. >> while hospital workers who answered that controversial prank call has died. >> reporters are reporting she has committed suicide. johnny manziel is the favorite to win the heisman trophy. >> the johnny football craze, i see myself as johnny manziel, a guy from texas. >> you're from texas, you know

the fiscal cliff threatens to shake our economy. and this morning there's still no sign of a budget agreement. mandatory spending cuts and tax hikes will take effect in 25 days if there is no deal. president obama was in the holiday spirit last night as his family lit the national christmas tree. earlier he warned the budget crisis would dampen the holidays. >> we're in the midst of the christmas season. i think the american people are counting on this getting solved. the closer it gets to the brink, the more stressed they're going to be. >> the president repeated that if republicans refuse to raise tax rates on wealthy americans, there will be no deal. and speaking of spending money, this sunday morning on "face the nation," bob schieffer talks with the author of the bowles-simpson deficit-cutting plan, erskine bowles and alan simpson. here's a million-dollar question.

"i just plain disagree.

the kid deserved it. grammy board you blew it. the kid delivered." two years ago he lost to jazz singer esperanza spalding. during a recent interview on "oprah's next chapter," bieber said winning a grammy is a goal. >> a grammy because i have not won yet. that would be really cool. >> reporter: justin bieber still has plenty of time to win a grammy. even if he never does, he'll be in good company. legends such as diana ross, the beach boys, the who and queen have never won grammy gold. >> this is for all the haters. >> reporter: the singer can take solace in his seven american music awards and the reported $55 million he made in the past year. for "cbs this morning," ben tracy, los angeles. ♪ as long as you love me >> who doesn't love "if i was your boyfriend." you know what i mean, nora. i can say hello, my name is gayle, i'm a believer. it doesn't make any sense to me.

two thing we very much agree on, we both can't wait, and know that our great state of new jersey is going to bounce back better than ever and is going to rebuild. and we both very much like bruce springsteen to hug us. >> yes. >> so the two -- really two things together. >> and he did hug me recently. >> did he really? >> yes. i turned around, there he was. and there he was. >> there he was. and he came up and put his hand out. and so i shook his hand. i tried to be cool. >> sure. >> i wasn't. no. and then he said, "come on, give me a hug." and i said, "all right." and i hugged him. >> did he go, "come on, stop." >> but then he said the most amazing thing to me. he said, "it's official. we're friends." >> oh, wow! >> you can tell that meant a lot to him. i think the governor has a big old crush on the boss. >> i think anybody from new jersey wants to be the best friend of the boss. >> i think you're absolutely right. welcome back.

of course, bruce springsteen is part of next week's 12-12-12 concert at madison square garden to help superstorm sandy victims, but that event is getting controversial because ticket brokers are selling seats for tens of thousands of dollars. seats that normally go between $150 and $2,500 are now really jacked up. yesterday new york senator chuck schumer called on them to donate their profits to sandy victims. one brokerage, stubhub, is promising to do exactly that. the ceo of stubhub will be with us on 12/12/12. tomorrow on "cbs this morning saturday," a closed community has opened up the world after a young woman brings abuse charges against the leader of a religious sect. the accuser is being called a heretic. john miller will have that story tomorrow on "cbs this morning saturday." but first, dr. holly phillips says your parents were right. remember when they told you to eat your fruits and your vegetables. >> reporter: good morning.

in today's "healthwatch," eating away cancer. we've all heard that eating more fruits and vegetables has many health benefits. now, new research supports the evidence that certain nutrients in them can reduce the risk of breast cancer. a comprehensive analysis of eight previous studies involving 3,000 people suggest that substances can be potent protectors against some types of breast cancer. they're the colorful red and yellow pigments found in foods like carrots, tomatoes and sweet potatoes. and leafy greens like spinach and kale. researchers used blood tests, not self-reported fruits and veggie intake, to more reliably determined levels. they have significant lower risk of breast cancer. carotenoids are oxidants that may begin cancer development. in addition, they can inhibit the growth and promote the self-destruction of cancer cells. so if you add more color to your

diet, you might just add some years to your life. i'm dr. holly phillips. >> "cbs thwatch" r sponsored by aquafresh extreme clean. take the feeling of clean to the extreme.

tomorrow night on "48 hours" how far would a mother go when her daughter is murder and the suspected killer is walking

free. as richard schlesinger reports one mother thought the pen would be mightier than the sword. >> debra edwards will never forget jun 2, 2009. she discovered her daughter dana clair's lifeless bloody body on her daughter's bathroom floor in the wealthy san antonio neighborhood of alamo heights. >> kneeled on the floor next to her and pushed the towel off of her head. >> dana clair edwards had an mba and worked in the family's construction business. she had been beaten and strange told death. on top of that dana's beloved dog was later found battered to death in a nearby park. >> thanks for coming in. appreciate it. >> absolutely. >> in police interview dana clair's ex-boyfriend 43-year-old thomas ford looked shocked and

in grief. >> oh, god. >> but the two had just broken up and that made ford a natural suspect. in the beginning of their investigation police had little to work with, just some grainy surveillance video taken outside dana clair's apartment building showing a vehicle which looked like ford's suv entering and leaving around the time of the murders. but dana clair's mother had followed the investigation and was convinced thomas ford was her daughter's killer. >> i wanted him to know i was thinking about him and that he needed to think about me. >> and she made sure thomas ford got that message personally. >> you sent thomas ford very len tine. >> i said i'm thinking of you. >> she said months for notes. one read mother's day never the same. another one sent from dana clair's own e-mail account said how long were you planning this murder?

>> it's an unusual move, don't you think? >> i don't know. what does a mother do when she's seen her daughter laying in a pool of blood. >> eventually investigators found dna consistent with ford's on a towel left at the crime scene and he was arrested in february of 2010. the stage was now set for a dramatic confrontation. >> when did you start the campaign of harassment? >> between famed texas defense attorney and dana clair's mother. >> remember how you ended her life. with a photograph of dana clair saying happy new year. you did that? >> yes, i did that. >> was it hard to keep your composure, though? >> i have praise for grace when i pray for justice. >> would debra edwards finally get justice for dana? i'm richard schlesinger.

temperatures on the chilly side to begin with. by the afternoon we will heat things up in the 50s and 60s. i think the weekend looks great as high pressure moves overhead, the temperatures warming up nicely into sunday and monday. there is a slight chance we could see showers return next wednesday.

there are two narratives about the location of osama bin laden. the one that you're most familiar with is that ubl is hiding in a cave and he's surrounded by a large contingent of loyal fighters. but that narrative is pre-9/11 understanding. the second narrative, that he's living in the city. living in a city with multiple points of egress and entries, access to communications so that he can keep in touch with the

organizations. you can't run a global network of interconnective cells from a cave. >> welcome back to "cbs this morning." "zero dark 30," the new film about the raid of osama bin laden has been a controversial project. director katherine bigelow was reportedly given access to classified information on the mission. >> this is her first movie since winning an oscar for "the hurt locker." katherine joins us from studio 57. welcome. >> thank you. >> tell me about this movie because you were intent on making another movie about the capture -- the failure to capture osama bin laden and then when this mission happened, you changed everything. >> we had to change, history intervened. while we were working on a project about the assault in tora bora on november 6th of 2001, it all took place in the tora bora mountain range. and mark was about two-thirds of the way through the screenplay --

>> the screenwriter. >> the screenwriter. halfway through the first screenplay when may 2011 happened. all of a sudden we had to rethink that because you could no longer make a movie about a sort of failed hunt for osama bin laden when everybody knew he was dead. >> and how did you get the story? >> well, it was a story mark reported and i think reported quite extraordinarily. it's all based on firsthand accounts. >> classified information? >> yeah, there are reports that you were given access to classified information. did you? were you? >> well, we never requested classified information, nor was i aware that classified information was coming my way. so to the best of our knowledge, no. >> no, that is a no? >> yes. >> that is a no. so this is the thing that was so fascinating to me, kathryn. there were a couple times in the movie when i could not breathe. it was so riveting because you really took us inside the home of osama bin laden.

did you build a complete different mock-up? did you really -- the attention to detail is what i'm trying to say seemed so spot on. was it? >> well, what was so important to us was to tell this story authentically and to make it feel very real, to make it feel very naturalistic. and so to do that, we actually, for the compound, we had to build a compound from the ground up. and it had to have a foundation so the helicopters wouldn't tear it down. it was built as a practical so we could shoot from outside to inside. it was a real three-story building that we built in the middle east. >> this is two stories. one, it's the story of how they found out where he was. and a cia team is responsible for that. >> right. >> and then it's the story of how they went in there and killed him. >> yes. >> the first part of the story centers around actress jessica chastain plays a cia person. is that a real person? >> well, again, they're all

based on real people. >> right. so there is a real cia agent that she plays who found the link to the courier who took them. >> with her tenacity, her courage and her dedication, you know, really drove that lead forward. and gave it a lot of traction. you know, and i think the interesting thing about the movie is it really puts you in her shoes. it puts you in that intelligence hunt and gives you a glimpse into the intelligence community and the dedication of these men and women including her. but all the men and women that are involved in something -- in an operation that is this complicated and this arduous. >> have you met her, or did mark meet her? >> well, we protect our sources. i'll leave it at that. >> you know, were you surprised that there was a woman who was so intricately involved? because at first when i heard it was a woman, i was, like, wow! and then i got a little disappointed to think, why would i be surprised that it was a woman? were you? >> i had the exact same reaction. i was surprised -- i was thrilled. >> yes, me, too.

>> and then i was surprised that i was surprised. >> yes! that's exactly how i felt. >> it was -- and again, you know, had it been -- it wouldn't have changed my inclination to make the movie had it been a man. it was whoever was the person and the people at the center of this hunt, that was who we were going to, you know, make the story about. but i was extremely thrilled and proud that it was a woman. >> there's some controversy about the film because there is graphic torture including waterboarding because there was an obsession on the part of the cia and the government to find people who did the terrible thing to america that they did on 9/11. why was it important for you to show that? >> well, i think it was important for us to tell a true story. and it's part of the history. it's controversial. but it's part of the history. and so that was what was the most important thing for us. and in that ten-year-long journey and that ten-year-long hunt, there were many methods

utilized to obtain detainee information. some was electronic surveillance, some of it cell phones, got old-fashioned boots on the ground sleuthing so many methods. >> and torture. >> and enhanced interrogation. >> what does it mean before we go? it must mean something. >> it's military term for 30 minutes past midnight, so 12:30 at night. >> kathryn bigelow, thank you. it opens in limited release december 19th. jessica herron says she is reinventing the home business opportunity for the modern woman. we'll meet the entrepreneur behi,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

jessica herron started weddingchannel.com, the world's number one wedding website when

she was just 24. today as co-founder and ceo, she's doing for jewelry and accessories what she did for weddings. sales are expected to top $200 million this year. hello, jessica. what are you, a swag hag? you recently turned 40 and already you're heading a company that's over $200 million. >> i'm a few days in. so far, so good. >> 40 was okay for you? >> yes, this decade's going to be awesome. >> let's talk how it works. you describe it as a traditional direct sales company. i was wondering, is it like mary kay parties back in the day? >> i actually think we're remarkably different from that and really on purpose because i think women have changed so much. technology has changed all around them. we really had to completely reinvent what it meant to have a flexible, stylish, lucrative, home-based business for today's woman. >> i mean, the comparison to mary kay in that it's done in your home. women that have individual parties. where they invite people to come in and buy. >> we have independent stylists that launch their own business,

sharing the style of our jewelry. and not only do they do that at trunk shows which are pop-up shops in people's living room, but i think what's interesting how they do it, they do it through social and mobile, each stylist has their own website. because social media and technology has come so far, the business is completely different. and that means they can earn more than was ever possible before. >> gayle, i don't know anything about stella & dot, but i do know they're backed by sequoia capital. that's a smart venture capital firm. >> i think they really saw in stella & dot that we're three things, a people company first because we're completely mission driven in giving women the means to live their best life. and we're a fashion company because design is the difference. and we're obsessed with creating incredible style and value for people. but we're also a technology company to enable that. so with our technology, we're a platform for entrepreneurship. and i think sequoia and alfred lynn saw that potential. >> where do you think e-commerce is going? >> well, i think e-commerce is really morphed into social

commerce and mobile commerce. and when people ask me, how much of your sales are online and how much of your sales are offline? i always say that's just not the right question anymore. >> what's the right question? >> where do buyers get their information in order to decide to purchase? and the reality is, almost every transaction is informed by formed that they can see and touch, something they look up online, something that they might check in with a friend through a text and a picture and then come back to them. so that's why we've really shaped our experience to have the best of those worlds. >> then let me ask this question. where do you think the company is going and where do you think it will be in five years? >> well, stella & dot is a global billion-dollar brand in the making with the mission to give more people a flex launch entrepreneurial opportunity. and we're going to do that by continuing to innovate so everyone can always get the personal service which will never go away, like the person-to-person element. >> always important. >> right. at the cornerstone of it. people want to show up with their girlfriends and see each

other and try it on. >> i want to get a sense of how much a woman can actually make or men, too. that's right. charlie, a few good men. how much can they really make doing this? >> well, fundamentally, it's up to them because it's their business, their pace. they'll earn 25% to 30% of what they sell. if the trunk show is $1,000, typical average, they'll come home that night with $250, $300. some women want to do two a on month and get that extra vacation money. our top earners learned $90,000 last month. >> thank you, jessica. >> thank you. today is december 7th, the day japan bombed pearl harbor in 1941. we'll meet two veterans who say it changed their lives forever. that's,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

attack, joe joined the army. within months he was on the front lines of the battle of the bulge, germany's last major offensive and one of the bloodiest battles of world war ii. demler was captured and sent to a nazi prison camp. >> it was the coldest winter in history and snow up over your hips. you know what they say, why didn't you escape? where are you going to go? there's no place to go. >> reporter: this was you on the day you were liberated. a photographer from "life" magazine was on hand when americans liberated demler's p.o.w. camp. they called him the human skeleton. >> the biggest thing is what it meant to these veterans. >> reporter: joe and julian are part of "operation resolve," a wisconsin-based program that brings world war ii veterans to see their memorial on the mall in washington, d.c. joe dean is the founder. >> we have a great sense of urgency. one world war ii veteran dies

we kill one of our enemies, we create another 18. >> reporter: from the front lines to the factory floors, 60 million american men and women volunteered to serve their country. they were to become known as the greatest generation. >> this generation lived through the great depression. they went off to war. they came back to the united states to rebuild america. and they did. >> reporter: but it would take the country 60 years to build them this memorial. >> it lifted me up. it's given me a new perspective on what world arewar ii is abou. for many years i never talked about it. >> we can't walk a block in washington, d.c., without them stopping to thank these veterans. it's absolutely beautiful. >> reporter: more than 400,000 american men and women gave their lives during world war ii. those who returned are now in their late 80s or older. for the veterans who have been lucky enough to make the trip to the memorial, "operation resolve" makes sure their

homecoming is just as memorable as their journey. >> it's just a welcome home that this generation really never received. it leaves the question, now that you understand this history and the enormous sacrifices that went into making us free, what are we going to do about it? what do we do with that gift, with that gift comes a great deal of responsibility, i think, to live life that somehow begins to be worthy of this gift of freedom that we've all been blessed with. >> reporter: and many of the world war ii veterans who have come here call it the trip of a lifetime. one told me it made his life complete. and norah, by the way, joe demler, the man known as the human skeleton, turns 87 today. >> oh, gosh, chip. what a beautiful story. thank you so much for reporting that. you know, charlie and gayle, what incredible veterans we have in this country. and 71 years ago today, pearl harbor. >> you know what's remarkable
